That was a nice save

Missing the final ball on these breaks

Great turn and pass in the midfield a minute ago

Blackmon

Ugh

So bad.

Living so dangerously and being so shaky on counter kills, we're going to have to score a few to win this one because we're sure to concede again

And get Blackmon off the pitch. He shouldn't be there. He's not a CB we will play in the WC next summer. No need to start him in a friendly prep now

I like Sargents movement, but there is no service to any striker we ever play

I think the problem is we play wingers like pulisic and weah both sides and theyre both primarily looking to make runs and dribble themselves, neither is first thought trying to play Sargent in. Neither is frequently in spots to cross the ball in, they like to play more inside a lot.
And then same thing for Dest as the outside back, and personally I think Arfsten is not very good.
So we're stuck trying to make short pass combinations all the way up the pitch all the time, we dont vary our approach enough for my liking
I think the passing has been pretty fluid for the most part at least

I've missed having Dest in the lineup

Its also too slow. We let SK get all set in defense before we really start to attack

Haha we suck

Its so embarrassingly bad. Their entire offense is give Son the ball and yet we are surprised when they constantly play give and gos to him

We need Poch gone in a week. All the drama this group needs a new leader or it's going to be an embarrassing World Cup

Just terrible in the back.

Crazy that Poch is still experimenting nine months away from the World Cup.

No way that's happening. Blame US Soccer for rehiring GGGGGGGGGGGG in 2023 for the current coaching woes.

The ref is staring right at it from 8 yards away
Unacceptable

Yep, and handful of.times Luna forced the team to play faster and we generated chances.
Too much standing around as usual
I.dont think we can afford to play 2 defensive minded players in center mid. And our defense is still bad so it's not even worth it for that mindset either.

I'd take GGG back at this point. At least he had some sort of gameplay. There is nothing out there right now in terms of obvious tactics.

Yea im not sure i could say what his plan is, tbh.
And I feel like south Korea is often turning us over and then playing extremely direct ..which is somehow effective

Its bizarre because we obviously have talented players and should be putting out better performances
At some point there is responsibility to the players to perform as well

Id bring on LDLT and Richards for Berhalter and Blackmon. Need to get more offensive quickly

Blackmon so far does not belong

How did Dest not earn a free kick there...

Great corner from Berhalter, Pulisic should not be taking them over him

Thought this game was at 6, just tuned in. What in the flying **** is going on here

I'd pretend to be hurt after that awful strike too, maybe retie my shoelaces

Adams just had a grade level sequence of touches there leading to the corner
